OneDrive search issue

When using the find files (Ctrl-F) feature, and searching (for example) for all *.ovf files, files in my OneDrive are not shown.
If I navigate manually to that folder, the files are visible.
The search picks up *.ovf files fine in other (non-OneDrive) folders.
Any tips/tricks/suggestions? Tested in XYPlorer 26.50 and 26.50.0006.
Thanks ..

Execute this from the address bar (assuming your onedrive folder is on the C:\ drive):
Code: Select all
text quicksearch("*.ovf /a", "C:\", , "s");
Does that list contain those files (now)?

My OneDrive is in D:, so I modified accordingly, but no- the OneDrive files are still missing.
It just outputs the same files (for that particular drive) that the Ctrl-F search finds.

Strange...
Replace the placeholder with the full path and try again:
Code: Select all
text quicksearch("*.ovf /a", "<use the full path to your onedrive folder>", , "s");

if, in the script, I use D:\, the files are not found. If I use D:\OneDrive, they're all listed/found.

That did the trick -- thanks to both of you for the help!
